Do you really listen to all 31’000 songs?

I think you’re just trying to show off.

When you sync your iPod with the primary computer, then you can very easily transfer music from iPod to computer and then from iTunes library in the computer easily transfer music to iPhone.

My problem is this: I decided to move my entire library (about 400GB) onto an external hard drive. Easy enough. But then, many of the songs and videos that I had bought from iTunes over a year ago no longer work. I am told I have to authorize my computer, which I have done many times. The songs and videos show up, but I can’t move them onto my iTouch or iPhone. I called Apple about this and they said I had to pay them to fix the issue. Don’t I pay enough? I had to hear their rather crappy customer service reps pawn me off from one person to another for several hours before the supervisor said I had to pay more money before they would consider any ideas about how to fix this problem.
I looked for a series I had downloaded recently, and can’t find it anywhere. Yes, my computer is authorized. Yes, the external hard drive was plugged in before I started the computer. And, I am not a moronic idiot when it comes to computers, as I am sure would make apple technical support very happy, so they can just say it was my stupidity that made my library a mess. I just want to be able to move those things that I did buy on iTunes on my iTouch and iPhone. Needless to say, I no longer buy anything from iTunes.
Any suggestions on how to get those iTunes purchases, especially the videos, to transfer?

For some reason, ITUNES isn’t locating the song titles from its database. When I want to import a song from a CD, for example, I have to import each track individually, so I can add the correct track name off of the CD. It worked originally, when I first downloaded Itunes.

I’m running Vista Business Edition.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, iTunes is kind of backwards. But you get used to it. Basically, my
extreme playlisting is to combat all the stupid iTunes quirks. If
iTunes would let me tag my songs with multiple genres, country
tags/fields, use personal tags like moods, choose my next song
according to how much I like and when I last listened to it etc etc
I’d have no need for all my playlists. Also, when you have an iPod
with less storage than your music collection the only option you have
is to choose which playlists you want on the iPod. So, what if I want
a few albums, too? I’ve had to create playlists of all the albums I
usually want on my iPod. Very, very dumb.

It’s definitely the interaction between playlists that slows iTunes
down, not the amount of tracks or the amount if playlists. When I make
changes to a simple playlist that isn’t referenced by another playlist
the change is instant and there’s no waiting before I can do something
else. If I change anything that’s referenced by another playlist I
have to wait around 5 minutes for it to decide what all the playlists
should have in them now. Some of my playlists reference other
playlists and other playlists up to about 15 layers deep. That’s why
it runs like a dog.

I’ve already suggested to iTunes how it might be fixed: If they’d
implement a global “update all smart playlists automatically” check
box that I could turn on and off for ALL of the playlists at once then
I could turn it off while mucking around with playlists and turn it
back on again when I want it to do its thing. I know they have this
checkbox for each individual list, but that doesn’t really help. When
I change a given playlist there are usually at least 100 playlists
that update after the change.

I had issues like that, it turned out to be related to using a VBR encoder (use fixed rates instead?). But this is not the topic of this thread.
